Kod Etika Kewartawanan Malaysia (Bm-Eng)

The fundamental objective of journalism is to serve the public in all its manifestations with news, views, information and ideas founded on the belief of public enlightenment and civic tolerance. In this respect, it is also important that the individual is protected from unwarranted suffering from publicity and violation of privacy.

The media is expected to improve and maintain professional integrity. In doing so, the media subscribes to the norms of fairness in the communication of news and views with due discernment in view of national security, universal values and professional objectives.

The Code of Ethics of Journalism in Malaysia was compiled by journalists for journalists. Therefore, it is the responsibility of Malaysia journalists to practice it.
